I PURCHASED THIS 1968 DART IN 1990, ON A USED CAR LOT, FOR $800.00. THE CAR IS IN #2 CONDITION, IN FACT, IT IS APPRAISED @ $6,795.00. THE CAR CAME WITH A HI-PO 273 V8, AND THE MILEAGE IS DOCUMENTED AT 87,640 ORIGINAL MILES. THE CAR HAS FACTORY A/C. IT HAD POWER STEERING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR REPAINTED AND PUT THE BUMBLE BEE STRIPE BACK ON THE CAR. SOMEONE HAD REPAINTED THE CAR PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING IT, AND DELETED THE STRIPE. IN MID 1995, I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL ENGINE, AND ADDED THE 1957 392 HEMI. I ALWAYS WANTED AN A-BODY HEMI CAR, BUT I COULD NOT AFFORD AN ORIGINAL SUPER STOCKER, IN FACT, CHRYSLER, PRODUCED 55 DARTS, AND 57 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDAS, FOR RACING ONLY IN 1968. IT'S FUNNY, NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THOSE CARS, I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE TRYING TO PASS A 1967 DART AND EVEN A 1969 DART (ORIGINAL HEMI CARS) OFF AS AN ORIGINAL FACTORY CARS.
